tleman speaks tonight on the corner
of Main and Murphy streets and it
is very probable that it will be inter-
estinp. lie will measure lances with
Mr. Connor, ms that gentleman made
the attack. Mr.. Smiths friends will
rally TO his standard and The crowd
ought TO show something of his
strength. Mayor Brown has no APP
pointment to speak. HIS health would
not permit it just now; but he does
not deem il necessary for him to air
himself from the rostrum, as his rec
ord lies open to any one. by his deeds
must he be judged.
Mr.. Conner will speak at the Union
depot tomorrow night, when prepar-
ations will be made TO have rousing

these wards ought TO be very careful
in their selections. An alderman
ought to be a man, not only Of good
common sense, but Of intelligence.
lie may have the head Of statesman
on him, but if he have not the ability
TO express himself in speech and in
writing he will fall short. The men
who speak-all other things equal
are the men who carry their points:
not n blatherskite- a man all tongue
and no sense. If the intelligent pco-
ple would attend the meetings of the
city council they would soon learn
what kind of man they should vote
for. Exercise, however, your best
